New in Jena, or simply looking for new people? With S'Up you can spontaneously find friends, events and connection in Jena — from game nights to sports to the semester party. No dating, just real meetups.
Jena ist mit rund 20.000 Studierenden eine der lebendigsten Universitätsstädte Thüringens, geprägt von der Friedrich-Schiller-Universität und der Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule. Das Leben spielt sich rund um die Kneipenmeile Wagnergasse, den Johannisplatz und die Saaleauen im Paradies ab, wo sich Hörsaal-Alltag und Freizeit dicht mischen. Im Sommer verwandelt die Kulturarena den Theatervorplatz wochenlang in eine Open-Air-Bühne und macht die Stadt zum Treffpunkt für Konzerte und Festival-Abende.
